Speaking at a rally in Datia in the poll-bound state of Madhya Pradesh, the Congress leader said, "The people of Amethi used to scold him (Rajiv Gandhi) and used to tell him on his face, 'Rajiv bhaiya, we will give you love, but if you don't fix our roads, then we won't vote for you'. He was the PM, but he never used to get angry or scold them; he used to bow his head and say, 'I have given the order, but it is taking time.This is the tradition of our country; our ancestors fought for freedom so that the people could have ultimate power and wealth. This is called freedom; else, what is the difference between the Britishers and the new rulers?".

The Congress General Secretary attacked Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre and said that it is only working for big industrialists. "The BJP government is working only for big industrialists. Thousands of crores of rupees belonging to Adani ji are being waived off and the country's properties are being handed over to him. What could be bigger corruption than that you have taken the country's wealth and put it in the hands of an industrialist," Priyanka Gandhi said.
